Fuck, I need to start smoking before work, so that I can then quit and become superhuman too! But something tells me it ain’t gonna work that way.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t been fighting for 15+ years with NOTHING to show for it.

I’m just tired. People don’t give a fuck anyway. May it all burn down in nuclear fire soon.

This shit is happening no matter who votes what. It’s been voted on how many times in the past decade? 5+? It’ll always keep coming back until it passes. Might as well do it now rather than later. Same with online ID verification. Just bite the pillow while they’re going in dry, it’s the shortest pain.

I upgraded my pc - for the first time in nearly a decade - this spring because I felt in my bones it would be the last time most components would be “affordable”. It may very well actually be.

So it’s another way of using a “tracking pixel” like has been done before?

It’s obviously a global push. I expect no country is going to be spared draconian identity verification rules in the near future.

I appreciate all the people who fill niche comms with actual content. None of it is monetized in any way, so there’s no agenda. It’s just like Reddit pre-2012. I can only hope it stays like this for a long time still.

If this war ever ends without further massive casualties and damage, Ukraine will forever after be a defense powerhouse with, probably, one of the most robust defense industries in the world.

I found it on wikipedia of all places

I don’t know what went wrong that such a patent was granted. I absolutely loathe IP people.

Someone got paid, guaranteed.

One of the reasons I do it is because it’s fun actually debating people and exchanging ideas. That simply wasn’t even possible anymore on Reddit in the last four years or so.

3K+ comments in my two years on Lemmy. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Kinda funny; here on Lemmy they’re appreciated, while on Reddit we hated “power users” with a passion.

That said, I really do feel like the posters on Lemmy are trying their very best to provide interesting content, and they do this by fostering their chosen communities by hand. I’m a fan.

Look up “Product” on youtube. He has a vid about a woman so addicted to cigs she tried to smoke a live roach in a fit of delirium.

Hardly surprising from people whose family tree looks more like a circle.

Leave the door open and point (another) fan at it from outside for circulation. It helps that it’s basement level. Stays nice & cool in the summer unless it’s 30°C+ for weeks on end.

And yes, I’m an actual basement dweller. No, I don’t live with my parents.

Hot air gets trapped under the desk, which decreases cooling efficiency. The vent and the fan spread the hot air upwards, where it was already going anyway. So in terms of heat output into the room, not much has changed, but the ‘feel’ of where the hot air is certainly has. It now feels a lot cozier in there and my cpu stays a bit frostier.

I reckon it’s been dead for a while, they’re just making it all official. We’ve known since 2013 that the US had “TIA” or total informational awareness, aka access to anything and everyone, anywhere. And that was over a decade ago.

Congrats on the IP ban, those are usually reserved for serious offenders. Take it as a badge of honor, honestly.
